Just the two of us - Emily and I. Which makes us ENTREPRENEURS. BUSINESS LADIES! And THE PROUD OWNERS OF A NEW COMPANY!
I'm sure none of this is surprising to you in the least. (Ha! Yeah right. I'm not sure about Emily, but I am visually picking up every family member's jaw from the floor. Love you guys!)
I think it will make a lot more sense to you when I tell you that it happened BY ACCIDENT.... #MoreLikeLindsay #ButIsSheForReal?
You see, we have a serious, unnecessary, HONESTLY EMBARRASSING obsession with mugs. And not mugs of the standard variety, but of the large, trendy, and ADORABLE SAYINGS variety. The kind you might find on Etsy or in the world's sweetest boutique. Ones that you would order online in Canada, only to bring them across an ocean to where you live for 10 months a year. The ones you HAVE TO HAVE because your coffee and tea will taste so much better in their SUPER-SUPER-CUTE presence.
It was our plan to divide and conquer the BEST MUGS world, with each of us purchasing our faves from the Interweb and then having them delivered to our homes in Canada (and eventually flown back to our kitchens in Kuwait.) Alas, our grande plan was KIBOSHED by the cost of mug delivery, making it a totally unrealistic feat to pursue.
Bummed out at Costa Coffee one afternoon, re-living the failure of our BRILLIANT IDEA, Em made a remark about having to make our own mugs. To which I replied, "Okay, so we're starting a business?" To which SHE replied, "I GUESS SO!"
BAM!
The Glue was born.....
The Glue designs the mugs we've always dreamed of, showcasing memorable text in either black or white font. Please follow us on Instagram @thegluekw to follow our journey and take a peak at our very first (GASP!) mugs! You can also follow The Original Basket Boutique @obb_kuwait, where our mugs will be sold exclusively :)
As for the reason behind our company name, we believe that tea time or coffee time is the simplest bonding ritual of all......
Truly.....how many times have you sat down to read my blog with a hot drink in hand? NAN?! MOM?! DAD?! SARA?! EVERYBODY?!
Thank you to everyone who has supported The Glue this far. We couldn't have asked for a better response to our product! By the end of this week, our customers should be enjoying a conversation with their new favourite mug in hand :)
Happy Sipping!
Love, Emily and Lindsay
XOXO
